Hey man, keep fighting the good fight. But know that you are among friends here. You are unlikely to find any Musk fans in this thread. And posts that smell of fascism will be downvoted if mild, and flat out deleted if strong.

And I think a lot of people here would also agree with you that continuing to use X is tacit support of some bad people and ideals. It's just a matter of how hard-line you want to go with your guilt-by-association. Posting a screenshot of something that was posted on X is several steps removed from the source. It doesn't link to the site, or give engagement to the site. So although your chain of reasoning to being against such posts is valid, I think perhaps attacking people for posting such screenshots risks a bit of 'friendly fire'. I reckon your anti-fascist efforts are better spent elsewhere, where the actions are a bit more clear cut.
